I always wonder how his career would have panned out had he not got that crazy knee injury in The Fiesta Bowl...
Behind Theissman, that was THE WORST football injury that I've ever witnessed.
and Ed McCaffrey
Wiki
"McCallum suffered a complete hyperextension of his left knee, almost to a right angle. He suffered a ruptured artery in his left knee, and tore three ligaments, tore the calf and hamstring from the bone, and suffered nerve damage in the knee. McCallum was told that if the surgery did not go as planned, there was a chance his left leg would have been amputated."
Also, if you search his name the video comes up.
I never want to see that video again! I watched the first reply close, because I had thought it looked like Norton that was hurt. So yeah, got a real close look and t was just horrible. Even back then I was recording 49ers games and going back to re-edit them, making highlight tapes. It was awhile before I could go back and even look at that game!
There was ONE thing in that game worse to see than the injury...and that was having to see TOM RATHMAN in a Raiders uniform.
I hated Plan B and was so mad at the Niners for letting Rathman/Craig/Lott to go that way!
